ABSTRACT

An undergarment has a front panel and back panel connected to one another and having a pair of leg openings. The back panel has a central aperture that provides uplifting support, but does not flatten the buttocks. The undergarment provides support, but allows the nature shape of the wearer&#39;s figure.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

Clothing designers have long created garments to enhance not only thesize of certain body parts, but also the presentation of these parts.Undergarments, such as girdles, have been used for hundreds of years toreshape a person's figure. To a certain extent, the clothing worn canchange the shape and proportions of body parts, in order to give a moredesirable presentation.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,708,986 (Belardinelli) discloses an undergarment to beworn by a person on the lower torso area. The undergarment includes anopening to support each buttock of the wearer. The undergarment createsan uplifting support without flattening the buttocks. The material 30between the openings, however, will have a flattening effect.

There is a need in the art for an undergarment that provides support forthe wearer's buttocks, but still allows a natural shape. It is thereforean object of the invention to provide an undergarment enhancing thepresentation of the buttocks by uplifting, but allowing a natural shape.It is another object of the invention to provide an undergarment whichenhances the wearer's natural figure. It is another object of theinvention to provide an undergarment that improves the appearance of thewearer.

These and other objects of the invention will become apparent afterreading the disclosure of the invention.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An undergarment has a front panel and back panel connected to oneanother and having a pair of leg openings. The back panel has a centralaperture that provides uplifting support, but does not flatten thebuttocks. The undergarment provides support, but allows the nature shapeof the wearer's figure.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is a front view of the undergarment;

FIG. 2 is a back view of the undergarment; and

FIG. 3 is a side view of the undergarment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Referring to FIG. 1, the front portion 12 of the undergarment can beseen. The front portion has a first side 14 and second side 16. Thefront portion also has a top edge 18 and bottom edge 19. Seen in thisview are the first leg opening 32 and second leg opening 34. As can beseen from this view, the front portion of the undergarment does notdiffer significantly from a conventional undergarment.

The rear view of the undergarment can be seen from FIG. 2. The rearportion 22 of the undergarment has a first side edge 24 and a secondside edge 26. A top edge 28 runs between the two side edges 24, 26 and abottom edge 29 is defined between the two leg openings 32, 34. The frontportion first side edge 14 is connected to the rear portion side edge24. Likewise, the second side edge 16 of the front portion is connectedto the rear portion second side edge 26. To complete the undergarment,the bottom edge 19 of the front portion connects to the bottom edge 29of the rear portion.

The side and bottom edges can be connected to one another along a seamor the garment can be a seamless garment formed by conventionalprocesses.

The rear portion has a central opening 45 that encircles and supportsthe wearer's buttocks. The opening supplies support from below thebuttocks to provide an uplifting support. However, the opening preventsthe flattening of the wearer's buttocks and preserves a more naturalshape. The edge of the opening is reinforced to enhance the liftingability of the garment.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the undergarment having leg extensions 53and 55 extending downwardly from the leg openings 32, 34. The legextensions provide a firming action for the upper part of the leg belowthe buttocks.

The undergarment can be made of any suitable material, including naturalfibers and synthetic fibers. Such fabrics include cotton, silk,polyester and nylon. Preferably, the garment is constructed from elasticfibers that expand but return to their original shape and size. The useof elastic fibers enhances the lifting aspect of the undergarment.

While the invention has been described with reference to a preferredembodiment, modifications and variations would be apparent to one ofordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope of theinvention. The disclosure is intended to cover all such modificationsand variations.
